ARTIST STATEMENT
Woven Heaven Tangled Earth invokes the spirit of weaving. It opens to the world of ancient weavers and sky beings. I believe the infrastructure throughout the universe is a communications network continually informing us. I have been a weaver (glass) and a dowser (diviner) for many years so I feel very much tuned into this network. This exhibition is a culmination of many years of deciphering, weaving, and listening. This is a story about Star Beings coming to help humanity find its True North, paintings that traverse timelines, and reconnecting to women’s ancient sacred tools for weaving such as the spindle and distaffs that echo the 3 Fates whom weave our destiny. This show calls upon them to reweave our destiny in this time of great transition. - Susan Plum
Entering Susan’s multi-dimensional universe is a not an easy venture for the un-initiated. Within her outward exuberant, yet, grounded nature, an invisible cosmic energy seems to fuel a deep wisdom that invests all of her art making as in her renderings of mythical visions of the Milky Way, different versions of the tree of life, a panoply of enigmatic objects crafted out of glass, such as totems, hermetic emblems, talismans, archetypal votive vessels, candelabra, and most notably, a series of sculptures or channeled “Star Beings” she believes have come to help us retrieve our compass, lost in the chaos of the shifting age we live in. Next to her studio, Susan’s home coalesces in a joyful fiesta of colors mixed with lovely aromas that permeate a vibrant, organic environment animated by enchanting aboriginal crafts, exotic ferns or cacti that “emit” sub-aural sounds, herbs and fruits that color delicious crimson teas Susan prepares for guests. - Surpik Angelini
